Tankless Water Heater Buyer’s Guide: What You Need to Know

There surely is nothing better than having the best water heater. If you are in the market for a new tankless water heater, now is the time to do a little research.

The tankless water heater is gaining in popularity, and for good reason. Tankless, also known as on-demand or instantaneous water heaters, have many benefits over a traditional storage-type water heater. However, they also have some limitations and drawbacks which you should consider before deciding if going “tankless” is the best move for your household. We’ll take you thru what you need to know in order to make an informed buying decision.

What is a Tankless Water Heater?

Tankless water heaters have become increasingly popular largely due to their energy efficiency and compact design. These heaters are capable of delivering hot water on-demand by heating water only when it is needed. A traditional hot water heater stores hot water in a tank and uses energy to keep the water hot while it is waiting to be used.

​Simply put, when you have a tankless water heater, your hot shower is not limited by the size of your water heater’s tank! Energy is used only to heat water, not to store and keep water hot. This means that hot water is delivered on-demand and NOT sitting in a storage tank like a traditional water heater.
